Any thoughts? I keep coming back to it but still unsure!

Love it

RedSquirrelsAreAwesome · 04/06/2021 12:31

I like it, lovely name.

DoucheCanoe · 04/06/2021 12:31

I loathe the hard "Oh" sound.

Prefer Cara personally.

SpongebobNoPants · 04/06/2021 12:36

Prefer Cara personally
Eww no. Cara is dated and cheap sounding Envy

Cora is a beautiful name and popular in Ireland, meaning good and virtuous.

Every Cara I’ve ever met has been a complete dickhead and tougher than a dogs tongue

I love it. My daughter would have been called Cora but it was already my Nieces name. It's beautiful, unusual, timeless and ageless.

AnonymousArmadillo · 04/06/2021 12:41

I like it but also prefer Cara/Kara but I would because it’s DD1’s name. Not dated or cheap and she’s not a dickhead Hmm

Happenchance · 04/06/2021 12:41

I dislike it. It makes me think of an apple corer.

LostThings · 04/06/2021 12:56

I like it, but would be slightly worried that in years to come people would think I only chose it because my baby was conceived during the time of Coronavirus. Probably only me who thinks like that tbf!

LeafBeetle · 04/06/2021 12:56

I like Cora a lot

Stichintime · 04/06/2021 12:57

Hate it. Ugly name.

Chunkymenrock · 04/06/2021 13:03

Awful and frumpy. I just think corer (kitchen equipment.)

AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken · 04/06/2021 13:05

Love it and agree that Cara is no where near as pretty.

Beetlewing · 04/06/2021 13:11

Love it. A Romanian friend has a daughter Coralina, Cora for short, it sounds lovely with her rolling RRRRs

ColaOlaLa · 04/06/2021 13:14

I don’t like. Cara/Kara is nicer imo

MrsWidgerysLodger · 04/06/2021 13:15

I loved Cora for our DD but DH vetoed it :( Beautiful name.

FakeTanandProsecco · 04/06/2021 13:29

I love it too, and prefer it over Cara

uncomfortablydumb53 · 04/06/2021 13:44

Lovely name

SpongebobNoPants · 04/06/2021 13:54

@AnonymousArmadillo Grin
I’m sure she’s lovely, I’ve also never met her. I stand what I said about those I’ve met and my opinion on the way it sounds, sorry!

MunaZaldrizoti · 04/06/2021 13:58

It's a great name

You’re entitled not to like it. I haven’t liked a single name that people I know have chosen for their babies in the last year. Not the nicest way you could have phrased it.

AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken · 04/06/2021 14:04

I think it looks really pretty written down too (if that makes sense to anyone)

LizzieAnt · 04/06/2021 14:11

I love it too, and much prefer it to Cara. It doesn't sound like corer in my accent, and corer is a word that's rarely used anyway ( in my house at least Smile).

NigellasMicrowave · 04/06/2021 14:48

I love it a lot.

CherryonBiscuit · 04/06/2021 15:22

Adore it. Great name. Elegant!

MrsDoctorDear · 04/06/2021 15:23

I like it.
